Comments

• We need a way to create CMYK PDF (for quadricolor printing). It is very important for people working with printing industry. Without that, it will be a problem for us to send the work done on Inkscape, for example. And I know what I am speaking about, sending a PNG file at 600 dpi is not the good way for a 80x120cm print... it weight around 10Mo (ttoine)
• Salsaman - Please work with the MOTU's to get your packages in Universe.
• Oddboy - Also,we may consider the VST support including the FST project on ubuntustudio-audio. # And, why not, wine with alsa-jack support...
  • VST support will not be included as there are license issues with it. And as for WINE its our policy to push native apps. -C.Kontros
